Bullion Investments

Official figures out show gold bullion prices have risen for yet another day as people continue to get jittery over exactly how much their paper money will continue to be worth. Fears over mounting debt in the western world have fuelled a demand for gold and precious metals that mean prices have climbed 13 percent this quarter - the most since 2007. If you are looking at gold bullion investments, will buying gold bullion alone protect your wealth?

The facts are difficult to ignore: amid the fanfare that the worst of the recession is over, American companies did not increase their workforce as much as predicted and some reports show that business expansion actually slowed compared to last month. Seen as a sign that the US workforce is struggling, this provoked a desire to protect wealth in the face of an uncertain economy, and many turned to gold bullion.

Historically, it has been proven that gold bullion has the ability to ignore global recessions and does well when other forms of investments fail. It has soared in value when currencies fall and grows from strength to strength in times of high inflation.

We are living in uncertain and unprecedented times. The riots in Greece over currency devaluation has provoked fear and it is only natural that people turn towards the one thing that has stood the test of time in not only increasing their wealth but also protecting it.

In the light of the above, one could argue a very strong case that gold alone is the best wealth protector and you should go all out to increase gold bullion investments. However, I would like to point you towards wealth creation alongside wealth protection - one that can even produce in these uncertain times.

The internet explosion has opened up multi-million dollar industries. Having had this technology unleashed into the world, there is no going back - there will never be a time in the future where the internet will pass away as 'a phase'. Increasing technological inventions will continue to bring new visions and ideas to a computer near you - whatever that may look like. This in itself will continue to open up many more million dollar opportunities.

Protecting your wealth also means finding new ways of increasing your wealth. If you knew there was a key that would open the door into a prosperous future, would you take it? Would you be prepared to invest your time and money in learning new knowledge that would equip you to survive a volatile work market for many years to come?
